Extravagant Yak Presents

Tibet Backcountry mountain biking tour

"As a professional rider, I'm fortunate to travel a lot, but it's rarely ever stress free. Extravagant Yak exceeded my expectations and made their tour the best time possible for everyone involved. The culture, schedule, group dynamic, and locations we got to experience made this backcountry adventure one of my favourite trips ever."

- Mark Matthews, pro rider

ADVENTURE BIKING

RIDE on top OF THE WORLD

Our epic Tibet Backcountry Mountain Biking tour is best described as adventure biking. Others call it glorious suffering. Either way, this trip is designed for two-wheeled mountaineers who believe 2-3 hours of climbing is worth an hour or more of non-stop descent.

Ride through undulating grasslands and nomadic valleys. Descend yak trails and backcountry singletracks in one of the world's most remote regions. If your sense of adventure grows deeper as the pedal strokes get harder, you are meant to be on this trip.

Still in awe of my trip!! WOW, what an adventure - meeting Jim, Abu, Jake and Tsering was such a highlight in addition to the terrain, culture and people of Tibet. I will 100% be going back to tour with them!

Maureen

Five out of five stars. I would recommend this trip and the staff at Extravagant Yak to anyone looking for a true mountain bike adventure of a lifetime. The amazing staff at Extravagant Yak led us on a magical mountain bike journey through Tibet. Every aspect of the experience was perfect - the rustic accommodations, the local food, the well-planned transportation, the biking and the landscape. All the Extravagant Staff were there to guide, assist, translate, share, and ensure our trip was as satisfying as possible. The trip exceeded expectations in every regard.

I did the mt bike tour into the Himalayan region and was very impressed with not only the high altitude virgin single track in stunning views but also the trusted and safe service of the tour operator and guides. Very well done and worth every dollar. Trip of a life time.
